Looking for a new set of tires.

Alright, car has about 18,200 on it right now, and outer side of tires are totally bald. I know part of the reason is my alignment being off cause drivers is outside of tire, passengers is inside, but I will be getting that fixed soon considering my best 60" was a 1.9 last time I went to the track and ran a 13.1, with my cat off, time before I had a 1.7 and ran a 13.0 with a cat. Could not get any traction fish tailed the car almost going into a wall on my launch, and chirped 2nd and 3rd bigtime. So figured might as well fix the alignment and get some new tires. Don't want to spend 200 a tire for the stock yoko's so was looking for feedback on what others you guys recommend for a bit less in price, little more longevity, and close to same grip. Was gonna buy Al's used Toyo RA-1's but no word on that from him and don't know how they look for tread, plus don't think I wanna blow my TC hehe.

I'd take a look at the Yokohama ES100, Bridgestone RE750, or Kumho Ecsta MX. All of these are under $160 per tire and perform quite well. The Yoko and B-Stone will last a bit longer and ride nicer than the Kumho which has better dry handling and steering response.

Unfortunately, we cannot sponsor a group buy or forum discount. Even if I sell a large quantity to an individual over the phone no discounts apply. We always try to put our best price out there initially so there is no haggling. Many times we come out better, sometimes we don't. It all depends on the product. Sorry
